the prisoner’s dilemma, pt. 1.
dialogue prompts from the mysterious benedict society and the prisoner’s dilemma by trenton lee stewart.
you’re the one who hasn’t made up your mind.
you can’t just tell me what to do and expect me to go along.
so much for sticking together.
how can you have a team without a name?
just because you’re sorry doesn’t mean it wasn’t funny.
i promise i won’t forget again.
it’s hard to fix a problem when so few people know the cause.
i think you’ll be surprised.
you can’t blame yourself.
you really do want help with something?
aren’t you curious? don’t you want to know?
right now we’re talking about facts, and i want all of them.
one’s mind is one’s most valuable, private possession.
i’m afraid i can’t begin to care.
why am i always the last to know?
he has a lot of power and no judgment.
in some cases, ignorance is your greatest protection.
i think you might enjoy this one.
were you ever going to tell us?
you can eat the rest of my ice cream, okay?
i don’t believe i’ll do that again.
you don’t have to say it.
can we just talk about this and get it over with?
you wouldn’t think it was so funny if you’d been through what i’ve been through.
i hope a whole lot of things.
we’re just worried about you.
we consider you a part of our family.
i know it might be upsetting, but i have to know.
forget everything that’s happened.
how in the world did that happen?
it helps to ask politely.
for a long time i refused to believe i needed anyone, myself.
you’ve done good work until now.
forgive my directness, but there’s no time for delicacy.
we do different things. isn’t that why we’re a team?
standing here isn’t going to make it better.
this isn’t normal. this isn’t right.
don’t attack me when i open the door.
you should sit down. you’re about to faint.
it may surprise you to learn that you were my top priority.
i’d love to believe it, i really would, but i don’t.
everything is risky now, i’m afraid.
what are you doing in here?
you’re just full of answers, aren’t you?
i said i’m sorry, and i really am.
i realize you have something to tell me.
